Oh man, I feel your pain! It’s like building a puzzle where some pieces don’t want to go where they should! A little patience goes a long way.
I’ve had my 1.6 Miata supercharged for about three years now, and overall, it’s been reliable. Just regular maintenance is key; change the oil frequently and check the belts.
Absolutely agree! I also suggest using high-quality coolant to prevent any potential overheating issues while driving hard.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the durability on tuned setups. Some say they last well, while others have faced small issues like gasket leaks after aggressive use.
That’s a good point. Has anyone experienced those gasket leaks during track days? I’m curious if they’re common.
Gasket leaks can be annoying! Regular checks and using a decent aftermarket gasket set can help avoid that, especially under heavy racing conditions.
No doubt! It’s also wise to keep an eye on boost levels; too high can mean trouble down the line. How often do you all check your boost?
I monitor it every week, especially before a track day. Maintaining it is half the battle! Who knew a fun car could need so much babysitting? LOL!

It’s worth it for the extra power, though! Just be prepared for some turbo lag; it can feel sluggish in daily driving but amazing when the boost hits.

That’s true! It’s all about the balance between daily usability and track performance. Has anyone regretted the supercharger for street use?
